How to Log Out Of Google in Android

Each Android phone is tied to a Google account such that if you make changes to the Gmail, Calendar or Contact, it will immediately sync with the main server. When you first set up the Android phone for usage, it will prompt you for the Google username and password and it will store it in its memory. However, there are times when you need to log out of your current Google account and log in to another one, you will find that there is no option for you to do that.

There are plenty of reasons that you need to log out of Google account:

1. Your current Gmail account has been spammed and you are switching to another account

2. Your Android Gmail is not syncing with the main server and you need to clear the internal cookie to get it resync again.

Here’s how you can log out of your Google account in Android and re-login again. (The following instruction is meant for Android 1.6. I will update this again when I have the chance to play with Android 2.1) Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications

Scroll down until you see the Google App entry. Select it.

Press the Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons.

Exit back to the Home screen. You have just clear your Google cache and log out of your account.

In android 2.2, I did the following. You can sign out in samsung galaxy s using the following method. tap on the gmail icon>menu>accounts>menu>account settings In the manage accounts, click the account which you want to sign out. Click Remove account in the pop up again press remove account and you are done. Hope it helps!!!!!

What is going to happen is that Gmail is going to force me to create another account which wont be never used by me and then I will use another mail client which lwt me to logout from my real gmail account.

There is no need to remove account. Download apps protector from the android market and choose the applications installed in your phone which you want to protect. Give a password to it. Whenever you try to open the application, you are asked to enter the pwd. Its awesome!!

Damien hello and thanks for all this. But I seriously need your help here. My main gmail account is open in an gmail apps which is on a honeycomb asus tablet. That tablet is a demo tablet in a mainstream electronic shop downtown copenhagen. I need to get it logged out as any visitors passing by can get my entire life and possibly even hack my main gmail account.

The only way you can do it with Gingerbread and later version of Android is to remove the Google account associated with the phone. To do that, you can go to your Settings -> Account and Sync and remove your Google account.

The phone is still functional even without setting up a Google account, so you still can use it as a demo tablet. Just that the Play store won’t work.
